So, we head up to part 2 of our journey which includes the Philippines, Singapore, some more of Kuala Lumpur and Sweden.

Philippines

Day 18: Flight to Manila, spending some time in the worst airport in Asia, one more flight to Dumaguete in Negros Oriental island and negotiation with a taxi driver to take us to Dauin, Divers club where we are staying.

Day tip: Don’t stay in Manila if you’re traveling to the Philippines. Just head up to any other island.
